→‎Goals: removed (put them temporary to TODO page); only contents left
* If you're behind firewall and rsync times out you need to open port 873 for outgoing TCP connections.
= Goals Contents We wanted to provide:* an easy to (no-need-to-)install ConTeXt distribution* a '''fast and convenient way to update ConTeXt and binaries to the latest version''' ''(no need to fetch 100 MB when only minimal modifications have been made in the distribution)''* a reference ConTeXt distribution* an easy way to revert to an older ConTeXt (in case the latest one is broken) We do not plan to provide:* LaTeX packages ''(perhaps the really-basic-latex as an add-on package, but only if someone else has time to investigate what is needed)''* extensive support for whatever binaries or packages which are otherwise standard in TeX distributions: use TeX Live or MikTeX for that purpose
The minimals contain:
* '''ConTeXt''': current, beta + some older releases* '''Fonts''': most important TeX-aware ones* '''Binaries''': latest version of pdfTeX, XeTeX, LuaTeX and , Metapost (latest version, if possible)* formats '''Formats''' (need to be generated by user) for
** ConTeXt, mptopdf and plain TeX for pdfTeX/XeTeX/LuaTeX
** metafun and plain for Metapost
* ''it would be nice to have tex4ht as a package if someone can figure out what is needed to make it work''See [[ConTeXt Minimals/Conntents]].
